1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's a rapture alert or help 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: freezing over, but a Democrat is actually getting indicted. Here's 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: the part that makes me laugh. They're being indicted again, 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: so I believe they will absolutely probably get away with it. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: Now, what am I talking about? 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: York announced Friday morning that it will soon unseal an 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: indictment charge against Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat for New Jersey, 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: as well as his wife, with counts of bribery. In 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: a tweet, the office alleges the forthcoming bribery charges against 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: a sitting senator and his wife, Nina her Menendez, are 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen. Now, 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: what we're being told is that there are serious allegations 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: that he was taking massive amounts of cash, including gold 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: bars and other things like that. Now, I'm going to 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: have part of the press conference and where they announced 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: these charges in a moment, but before that, I want 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: you to hear what they said on Fox about this 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: indictment charges not just against Menendez but also his wife. 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: New Jersey Democratic center Bob Menendez and his wife have 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 3: been indicted on bribery charges, charged with corruption related defenses 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 3: for the second time now in ten years. He's been 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: down this road before, he had entered in a mistrial. 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,639 Speaker 3: He got a lot of a national attention. But Dana. 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 4: A thirty nine page indictment claims that starting in twenty eighteen, 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 4: Menendez and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars 27 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 4: in bribes in exchange for using his power to benefit 28 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 4: the government of Egypt. And they did it by way 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: of cash and gold and payments toward a home mortgage 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: rather compensation for a quote a low or no show job, 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 4: a luxury vehicle, and other quote things of value. That's 32 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 4: what's in the charging document now. 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 5: Is that this is a second time in a decade 34 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 5: he's been charged with corruption. And when those charges were 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 5: dismissed after a hung jury in twenty eighteen, this indictment 36 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 5: says that discorrupt relationship started the very same year. 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't this sound exactly like the Biden's Right, you get 38 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: accused of something, ah, you just keep doing it, right, 39 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: Menindez is like I'm in New York. 40 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: I got a hung. 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: Trial last time we complicated things they didn't convict me. 42 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: So let's go back to the bribery. Now, the US 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Attorney has come out and had a press conference. I 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: want you to hear what the US attorney had to 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: say about what Senator Menendez was allegedly providing sensitive, non 46 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: public US government information. Is what he was selling, almost 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: like a spy, to Egyptian officials. 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 6: Listen, let me say a little bit more about the conduct. 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 6: That's a leegend the indictment. The indictment allegens at Senator 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 6: Menendez took several actions as part of this corrupt relationship. First, 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 6: the indictment alleges that Senator Menendez used his power and influence, 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: including his leadership role on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 6: to benefit the Government of Egypt in various ways. Among 54 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 6: other actions, Senator Menendez allegedly provided sensitive, non public US 55 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 6: government information to Egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to. 56 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 7: Secretly aid the government of Egypt. 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 6: We also alleged that Senator Menendez improperly pressured a senior 58 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 6: official at the US Department of Agriculture to protect a 59 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 6: lucrative monopoly that the government of Egypt had awarded to Hannah, 60 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 6: a lucrative monopoly that Hanna then used to fund certain 61 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 6: bride payments. Second, the indictment alleges that Senator Menendez used 62 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 6: his power and influence to try to disrupt a criminal 63 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 6: investigation and prosecution undertaken by the new Jersey Attorney General's office. 64 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: By the way, doesn't this all sound exactly like what 65 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and James Biden have done? 66 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: Like, how is this any different? 67 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 1: And the reason why I say this now, if I'm 68 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: Bob Menendez, I'm actually like livid that I'm getting indicted 69 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: and publicly treated this way if it because this is 70 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: really no different than what the Biden crime family has 71 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: been doing for years, except the Biden's made more money 72 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: doing it, and they took money from even more corrupt individuals, 73 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: and just these individuals were saying, these Egyptian officials, and 74 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: also you know it's scandalous, right, It's it's sexy. Oh, 75 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: they gave him cash and gold. They were giving cars 76 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: and diamonds to the Bidens and then putting them on 77 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: fake positions on boards and then funneling them five million 78 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: dollars and then another five and then another three year 79 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: and another seven there and then it turned into thirty million, 80 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: and then fifty million, then seventy million. Like what Menindaz 81 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: did is nothing compared to the Biden family. But all 82 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden, now we've got a legitimate, you know 83 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: us atturn here that's going to really come after Menendez, 84 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: Like this is hysterical to me, related. 85 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 6: To an associate and a relative of your rebate. Third, 86 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 6: the indictment alleges that Senator Mendez use his power and 87 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 6: influence to try to disrupt a federal prosecution of Debies 88 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 6: in the District of New Jersey in two ways, first 89 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 6: by seeking to install a United States attorney who he 90 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 6: thought could be influenced with respect to Davies. 91 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: And second, by the way, how is that any different 92 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: than what the Bidens have done? 93 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: Right? 94 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: You got David Wise, who's the guy who's protecting them. 95 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: You've got Garland who's protect them. They then put people 96 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: in charge that will protect them. Then they give them 97 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: special prosecutors and the same capacity that will quote protect them. 98 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't understand how this is any different, to be clear, than. 99 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: What's already happening right now. 100 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: Like to me, this doesn't this is no different than 101 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: what they've been doing. The Bidens been doing the same 102 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: damn thing, and now they're charging him with crimes when 103 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: the Bidens did the same thing. 104 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: That's why this case matters. Like part of me. 105 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Didn't give a crap about Mendez. We've known he's shady, 106 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: we know and he's corrupt. We saw him and died 107 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: last time, we saw him get away with it. None 108 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: of this surprises me. It is the fact now that 109 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this prosecutor and the DOJ are like, oh, 110 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: this is a big deal. This guy used his power 111 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: and influence, including his leadership role on the Senate Foreign 112 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: Relations Committee, to benefit foreign governments. That's exactly what Joe 113 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: Biden has been doing for decades. And now you're going 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: to go and throw this guy in jail. Menandez, but 115 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: you won't even look at and you protect the president 116 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: at all costs. 117 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 6: Come on by trying to influence that office to act favorably. 118 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 6: In Davies's case, and as we allege in the indictment, 119 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 6: the senator agreed to do these things and use his 120 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 6: power in this way because Hannah was paying bribes, because 121 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 6: your rebate. 122 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: Was okay, well, then let's go through the bribery here. 123 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: How many people are paying bribes to the Bidens. The 124 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: number is I can't even get to what the probably 125 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: the number is because we don't know how many suspicious 126 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: activity reports are there one hundred and fifty of them plus. 127 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: So we know that these bribes are there, right, we 128 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: know that all this is happening. 129 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: We have proof that the Bidens have been doing this. 130 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: But now we're going to be outraged over Bob Menendez 131 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: doing the same damn thing, and we're going to act 132 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: like this is some just total breach of public trust 133 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: and that we should go after him, which, by the way, 134 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: we should. 135 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: I'm not saying we shouldn't. 136 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: But the idea that Bob Menendez is going to go 137 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: down for this, and I believe that he will, but 138 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: no one else will is total insanity.

The part that makes 177 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: me mad is that what he did is nothing compared 178 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: to the bribery and corruption that we know about in 179 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: the Biden crime family. So why is he being held 180 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: to a standard that the Bidens are not being held at. 181 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: He is accused of doing everything that the Bidens had 182 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: done in the past and present and now with Russia 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: and China and Romania and Ukraine. He was selling access 184 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: and giving political favors and protecting people. That's exactly what 185 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the Bidens were doing. So why is it that Menendez 186 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: gets nailed but the Bidens don't I want to go 187 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: back to this press conference. 188 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: Listen. 189 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 6: And because Davies was paying bribes, fortunately the public officials 190 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,479 Speaker 6: the Senator sought to influence did not bend. 191 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 7: To the pressure. That's a good thing. 192 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 6: And as part of this investigation, special agients with the 193 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 6: FBI executed search warrants on the residents and safe deposit 194 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 6: box a Senator Menendez and Nadine Menendez in New Jersey. 195 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 6: When they got there, they discovered approximately five hundred thousand 196 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 6: dollars cash stuffed into envelopes and closets. Some of the 197 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 6: cash was stuffed in the Senator's jacket pockets. Some of 198 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 6: the cash some of the envelopes of cash contain Davy's 199 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 6: fingerprints or Davies DNA. 200 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 7: That's not all. 201 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 6: Agents also discovered a lot of gold gold that was 202 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 6: provided by Dabies and Hannah, and the FBI of course 203 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 6: found the Mercedes Benz that your rebay had provided them. 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 6: That the items that being covered are discussed in the indictment, 205 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 6: which I encourage all of you to read carefully. 206 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 7: Let's take a look at just some of the items. 207 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 6: So as you can see here, this is the Mercedes 208 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 6: Benz that we allege that your reba provided as part 209 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 6: of the scheme. You see here are three kilograms of gold. 210 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 6: These three kilograms together are worth approximately one hundred and 211 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars. And of course here you can see 212 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 6: just a fraction of the cash that was uncovered as 213 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 6: part of the scheme. 214 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: You look at all this, this is no different. If 215 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: you're angered or shocked by this, this is no different 216 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: than what we have on the bidens. We have pictures, 217 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,239 Speaker 1: we have bank accounts, we have phone records, we have recordings, 218 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: we have emails, we have suspicious activity reports, we have 219 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: wire transfers. We have whistle blowers, we have IRS whistlelwers, 220 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: FBI whistleblowers, we have foreign whistleblers. We have people under 221 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: oath and giving testament. The Biden crime family was doing 222 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: exactly what Menindez did. And this US attorney who comes 223 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: out and says, good morning, Right, I'm gonna tell you 224 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: how we're cleaning up America. And I look, I'm glad 225 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: they've done this. I'm glad they got Menendez. But you 226 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: have to look at this, and you see they're in shock. 227 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: They're like the senator and his wife accepted hundreds of 228 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: thousand of dollars in bribes, right, hundreds of thousands of 229 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: dollars in bribes in exchange for Senator Meninez using its 230 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: power and influence to protect and to enrich those businessmen 231 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: and to benefit the government of Egypt. 232 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: That's their accusation. 233 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: That's what the Bidens did on a scale that even 234 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: Menendez could have never imagined. And so when I see 235 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: this type of justice, it makes me angry because when 236 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: you see this attorney come out today, I'm like, why 237 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: aren't we doing the same thing for the president? Listen 238 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: to how angry is and I'm glad he's angry. I'm 239 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: glad this is happening. But when they lay it out 240 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: in this indictment, it's like, well, then, how can we 241 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: not have the same for the President York. 242 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 7: Today, I'm announcing that my office has. 243 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 6: Obtained a three count indictment charging Senator Robert Menendez, his 244 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 6: wife Nadine Menendez, and three New Jersey businessmen, while Hannah 245 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 6: Jose Uribe and Fred Davies for bribery offenses. 246 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 7: The investigation that led. 247 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: To these charges has been run out of the Southern 248 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 6: District of New York. The indictment alleges that between twenty 249 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 6: eighteen and twenty twenty two, Senator Menendez, the senior US 250 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 6: Senator from New Jersey and the chairman of the Senate 251 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 6: Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife, Nadine Menendez engaged in 252 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 6: a corrupt relationship with Hannah. 253 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 7: Your Rebay and Dabies. 254 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 6: The indictment alleges that through that relationship, the senator and 255 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 6: his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes 256 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 6: in exchange for Senator Menndez using his power and influence 257 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 6: to protect and to enrich those businessmen and to benefit 258 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 6: the government of Egypt. 259 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he lays it out there now, if he 260 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: was doing just this, I would assume there's probably even 261 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: more than this. I would assume that there's other bribes 262 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: that he's done that maybe he hasn't gotten caught for yet. 263 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: But this is again a moment. 264 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: If I'm Menindez right now, I would immediately say, Okay, 265 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: you want to come after me for this. I would 266 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: unearth everything you could, and I would help the Republicans 267 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: go after the president, because if you're going down for this, 268 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: then why shouldn't he as well. Now I don't know 269 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: if he'll do that, right, Maybe he's hoping that Joe 270 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: Biden will give him a pardon right for all of 271 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: this when he's convicted. Because when you've got DNA and 272 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: all these other things that were just described on the money, 273 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: and they knew where all of it was, and the 274 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: bribes there and the other people you're trying to bribe 275 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't play game with you, and now you've got to 276 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: deal with the fallout of all this. I mean, I'm 277 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: sure Menindez like, all right, well this sucks. But look again, 278 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: if you're Menindez, now there is hope for you. And 279 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: the hope is that maybe people just a won't care 280 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: or be the president will hook you up, maybe you'll 281 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: get a pardon from him because you did the same 282 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: thing the President of the United States of America has done. 283 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: And why should you get indicted? Why should you go 284 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: to jail if the President doesn't get indicted for doing 285 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: ten x This the amount of money that we're talking 286 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: about here with Menindez, Yes, it is a lot of money. 287 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: I want to be clear about that. 288 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing compared percentage wise, 289 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: it's what two three percent of the money that we 290 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: know about that went to the Biden crime family, and 291 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: people are upset, right that Menindez was, you know, getting 292 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: indict again and all this cash coming in and everything 293 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: they just laid out there. And his wife, by the way, 294 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: she's been indict as well well. 295 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: Again people are outraged. But should you be outraged? Should 296 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: you be outraged? 297 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be if you look at the how much 298 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: money has gone to the family members. There's nine family 299 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: members the Biden crime family, nine of them that we 300 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: know of, that have been taking the money. So when 301 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the world reacts to this and just they're shocked by this. 302 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: The media is covering this thing wall to wall, right 303 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: that the Democratic Center dieted federal bribery charges, cash envelopes 304 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: filled with cash in his pockets, gold bars, luxury cars, 305 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: and apartment right, this is very scandalous. So the question 306 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: should be asked, and it's a question that the media 307 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: should ask. How is Menndez being held accountable for something 308 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: that the president has not been held accountable for at 309 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: a level that is ten x fifteen x, twenty fifty x, 310 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: whatever the number is of it when it comes to presidency, 311 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: that is the question that should be asked. I'm glad 312 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: Menindez has gotten nailed. Right, I believe he's in serious trouble. 313 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: I think he should be in serious trouble. Okay, I do. 314 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: I believe he should be in serious trouble for this. 315 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: But it's nothing compared to the presidency and everyone around 316 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: the presidency and the Biden crime family. You know, Menendez 317 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: and this whole conspiracy is two people, a husband wife. 318 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: You got nine family members of the Biden family. That 319 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: involves nine, nine different family members, nine folks nine. So 320 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: where is the indictment? Where is the search warn? You 321 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: notice here the search warn. Look at the difference here. 322 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: Menindez gets his home search, social security box or you know, 323 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: safety deposit boxes search. Right, he gets he gets what 324 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: you should get the treatment here. Remember what the government 325 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: did to protect Hunter and James Biden. They were going 326 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: to go search a storage facility, and not only they 327 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: tip off the Bidens, and they wouldn't let the FBI 328 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: go in and search them. When they wanted to talk 329 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: to the Bidens. What happened They said, no, you can't 330 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: go in. They were told nope, you're not allowed to 331 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: leave the premises. Sit down the street and wait. Do 332 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: you remember that that's a fact, folks, that actually happened, 333 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: Like that really actually happened. You had the FBI that 334 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: was trying to do their job and they were told 335 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: they couldn't do their job by their superiors, and they 336 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: were told that you couldn't talk to the subject of 337 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: your investigation. You also had people in the administration who said, 338 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: don't go search where Hunter Biden's been staying on his 339 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: dad's property because the optics are bad. We have that 340 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: in an email. We know that for a fact.

We've got 364 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: some new news with poll numbers. It is one issue. 365 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've ever heard this before in a poll. 366 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: This is new dread. The word dread. Dread is topping 367 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: the list of American feelings about the twenty twenty four election. 368 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: This is not a joke. 369 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: The number one feeling that comes to mind for Americans 370 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: when thinking about the upcoming presidential election is the word dread. Yes, 371 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: that's weird to me. That's weird. Maybe it's not to you, 372 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: but it certainly is to me. The survey of one thousand, 373 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty six US adults, which was conducted 374 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: between the September the fourteenth and eighteenth, offered a respond 375 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: in seven emotions, three positive, three negative, one neutral and 376 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: asks them to select any and all that reflect their 377 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: attitude towards the twenty twenty four campaign. Dread, the most 378 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: negative option, top the list, with forty one percent of 379 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: registered voters saying they're dreading this election, followed by the 380 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: word exhaustion thirty four percent. Only twenty five percent of 381 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: American voters had to use the word optimism. Twenty one 382 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: percent then use the word depression when in reference to 383 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election, seventeen percent used the word 384 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: interference and just fifteen percent used the word excitement, and 385 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: only five percent used the word delight. 386 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: What does this mean? 387 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: All the pollsters say this shows a deep sense of unease. 388 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: In total, of majority of Americans, fifty six percent chose 389 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: at least one of the three negative feelings dread, exhaustion, 390 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: or depression. Well less than a third of American voters 391 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: picked at least one of the three positive feelings optimism, excitement, 392 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: or delight. 393 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: For anyone who's. 394 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: Been paying attention to the tone in the tenor of 395 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: the US politics in recent years, the fact that Americans 396 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: characterized their prevailing sentiment towards an election as one of 397 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: great fear see in the face of impending evil probably 398 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: shouldn't come as much as surprise these results, the posters 399 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: now say. But all the same, it's a striking reminder 400 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: of just how unusual and how extreme the November twenty 401 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: twenty four promises of this election are going to be 402 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: a potential rematch between two elderly presidents Yahoo News Rights 403 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: whom most Americans don't even want to run again, with 404 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: the specter of criminal trials and partisan impeachment proceedings shadowing 405 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: the entire race. They wrote this morning, President Biden and 406 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump have yet to secure their respective 407 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: party's nominations, but they are already framing twenty twenty four 408 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: in existential terms. Quote Biden is totally corrupt and is 409 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: the worst president the history of our country. Trump said 410 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: in DC, we would love to be in World War 411 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: three very quickly. We would be in World War three 412 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: excuse me very quickly if we're going to be relying 413 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: on this man Trump said. Trump and his MAGA Republicans 414 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: are determined to destroy American democracy. That's what Biden said 415 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: in response at a New York fundraiser last night. Now, 416 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: as if, in response, a full thirty six percent of Americans, 417 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: a number that includes a staggering seventy five percent of 418 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: voters who identify as Republicans or Republican leaning independents now 419 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: think another Biden term would be the worst thing that 420 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: could happen to America. By the way, put me in 421 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: that list. I'm right there with you, and the numbers 422 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: are nearly identical on the flip side, with thirty four 423 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: percent of Americans and seventy four percent of Democrat and 424 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: Democratic leaning voters saying it would be the worst thing 425 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: that could happen to America if Trump were to regain 426 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: the oval office. So how do we get to this 427 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: point of dysfunction? That's the next question, the posters asked. 428 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: It's been a decade of dysfunction where partisans largely agree. However, 429 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: one of the overall issues the trajectory of the us U. 430 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: Nearly three to four seventy two percent of respondents say 431 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: America's political climate has gotten worse over the last decade. 432 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: Just seven percent and you'd have to be stupid to 433 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: believe this, say it's gotten better. Among the group most 434 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: inclined to say that US politics has recently gone downhill, 435 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: or white Americans eighty percent, twenty twenty Trump voters eighty 436 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: six percent, and senior citizens ninety one percent say that 437 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: US politics have gone downhill. Among the group least inclined 438 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: to say US politics has recently gone downhill are eighteen 439 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: to twenty nine year olds. Why because for the last 440 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: decade they've been growing up in this insanity. Just forty 441 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: seven percent Black Americans say that American political climate has 442 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: gotten worse fifty four percent. The majority now of African 443 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: Americans agree. Republicans are more likely to express optimism, however, 444 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: than Democrats, it also makes sense to me completely. Thirty 445 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: five percent say that they have optimism, Twenty one percent 446 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: say excitement they have about the twenty twenty four election, 447 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: and Democrats are twenty nine percent. And just sixteen percent 448 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: of Democrats say they're excited about their candidate or this 449 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: election because their party has an opportunity to take back 450 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: to White House. Obviously, Republicans would be more excited. Democrats 451 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: are more depressed because they have to put up an 452 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: idiot in the name of Joe Biden. The good news 453 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: is that despite their dread their words, American voters, just 454 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: fifteen percent of Americans excuse me. Just fifteen percent of 455 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: Americans say they avoid talking, reading, or thinking about the 456 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: twenty four election cycle, while most claim to just be 457 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: as interested as they were before. Most are interested, at 458 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: forty six percent say yeah, I'm interested, thirty two percent 459 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: say they're very interested, and in twenty twenty four that 460 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: is higher than previous election at this stage, so you 461 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: can't say that voters are unengaged. 462 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: Now. 463 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: Among registered voters, the interests translated into partisans and leaners 464 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: on both sides rating their chances of actually voting in 465 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is either more likely than in the 466 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: prior elections. Thirty seven percent of Republicans and Democrat respondents 467 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: matching perfectly, say they're more likely, not less likely, to 468 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 1: vote just as likely. Fifty seven percent of Democrats and 469 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: fifty nine percent of Republicans say they are just as 470 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: likely to vote as they were last time, which is 471 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: also very interesting. Now you take away step back from 472 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: this and you say, okay, does anyone have the advantage. 473 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: There is a category that the Republicans do have an 474 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: advantage over the Democrats. That category is the category of 475 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: excitement and optimism. Republicans are more optimistic than Democrats are 476 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: right now about the future this country with their candidate. 477 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Republicans are more excited to vote for their candidate, Donald J. Trump, 478 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: the leader right now, than Democrats are to vote for 479 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: their candidate. And we know who their candidate is, Joe Biden. 480 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: Democrats are basically dreading at a higher number voting for 481 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. But if you get through those numbers, it 482 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: still seems to be a neck and neck race. You 483 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 1: go to the very end among registered voters interest in 484 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: this election, are you more likely than prior elections to vote? 485 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent Republicans and exactly the same number thirty 486 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: seven percent Democrats say they're more likely to vote, just 487 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: as likely to vote is last time Democrats fifty seven percent. 488 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: Republicans have a two point lead in that category. Now, 489 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: that is a number that I would expect, and the 490 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: reason is Republicans are trying to get rid of a 491 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: Democrat and that's more engaging and when you have something 492 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: to win instead of something to lose. Right, we have 493 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: a white House that we want to win. Democrats have 494 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: a white house they don't want to lose. That can 495 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: explain that gap pretty clearly. What this means is, as 496 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: of right now, this is a neck and neck election cycle. 497 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: Make sure by the way that you share this podcast 498 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: with your family and friends.
